FILE- In this file photo taken Saturday, Nov. 8, 2014, Unmarked military vehicles parked on a road outside the separatist rebel-held eastern Ukrainian town of Snizhne, 80 kilometers (50 miles) from Donetsk, eastern Ukraine. Russia has denied it is sending arms and troops to support the separatists in Ukraine, but dozens of soldiers have been reported killed during drills in the Rostov region of southern Russia, but rights groups have actually attributed the deaths to the conflict over the border in Ukraine.
